Those sharp edges are great. 

Keep buying books

The CDC says fully vaccinated people can keep buying new books even if they already have more unread books than any person could possibly read in one lifetime

Press any button

You know when a game asks you to “press any button”, does anyone else go for the most vague one? I’m always here thinking: “I bet nobody presses L2 so I’ll pick that one”

Really? ANY button?

*Flails arms and screams*

Any time that you think making yourself large and loud to scare off animals is ridiculous and wouldn't fool a predator so much stronger than you, consider how many adult human beings are regularly chased away by geese

Apparently that's enough to scare something bigger and deadlier than me.
